Bale the main man for Madrid, and the rest of the Champions League final player ratings

Real Madrid are the kings of European club football once more after regaining the Champions League title by beating city rivals Atletico Madrid on penalties at San Siro on Saturday.

Yannick Carrasco equalised in the second half for Atletico following Sergio Ramos' opener for Madrid, but it was Cristiano Ronaldo who was the hero of the hour, converting the decisive spot-kick in the shoot-out after Juanfran had hit the post.

 

Keylor Navas - Was fortunate to see Antoine Griezmann's penalty strike the woodwork in the second half but could do nothing to prevent Carrasco from restoring parity. 6

Dani Carvajal - Did little to stand out before being forced off with a seemingly serious injury. 6

Casemiro - Provided an excellent combative complement to Modric and Toni Kroos in midfield. 7

Toni Kroos - Made a telling impact in the first half as he set up Ramos' opener with a fine left-wing free-kick. 7

Gareth Bale - The Wales forward's free-kick led to an early chance for Karim Benzema and it was his flick-on that created the opener. Bale saw a chance to win it in normal time cleared off the line by Savic. 9

Isco - Heavily involved in Madrid's attacks after coming off the bench but could not make a telling contribution. 6

 

Gabi - The star performer for Atletico, Gabi was at the heart of everything for Simeone's men, with his lofted pass for Juanfran leading to the leveller. 8

Antoine Griezmann - Somewhat atoned for his second-half miss from 12 yards in the shoot-out but it will forever be a case of what might have been for the France forward. 6
